Today, I moved back in with my parents in order to help them with the mortgage, so they don't lose the house that has been in our family for three generations. I also found out that I now have a curfew, and so does my husband and our 3 year old son. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I moved in with my parents because I can't afford to live on my own. I now pay 100% of the bills and can't leave because I can't save to replace my stolen/totaled car. I also can't drop my mask at home because 33 is apparently to old to be autistic, and I'm so tired and burnt out. I'm also not allowed to sleep. FML
Today, my parents have separated. I stayed with them, living at home far too long for my own comfort, just to help them keep it together after they lost their remaining parents. Literally the month after I moved out, they decided it wasn't worth it. I now suspect they stayed together only because I still lived at home. FML
Today, I let my estranged husband move back in with my son and me. Later, his pregnant and underage girlfriend knocked on my door, crying about how her mom kicked her out. I'm such a pushover, they're in my bed and I'm on the couch. FML
Today, I moved out of my parents' house and started living alone. All of a sudden, my parents started requiring me to text or call them every 5 minutes to tell them where I am and what I'm doing, from 6am to 12am every day. If I don't, they will go looking for me, and force me to move back in with them. FML
Today, I have no choice but to move back in with my mom and her husband, who are still married even though he's responsible for the house fire that killed my two younger brothers in 2013. FML
Today, I had to admit to everyone, including my cable guy, that I'm moving back in with my parents. FML
Today, marks the third time this month my parents came to visit. I moved 5 hours away to get away from them. FML
Today, after months of telling my parents I was going to live on my own, I finally moved out. Not even 24 hours being out of their house, some reject burned down the apartment complex I live in. Guess who's moving back home. FML
Today, after I just bought a house that is pretty good and suits all our needs for space, my in-laws moved in because they ran into financial troubles. Guess who is stuck with all the extra expenditures? FML
Today, I visited my dad. He gave the, "You live under my roof, you follow my rules" lecture since I didn't do my "chores". I moved out 3 years ago. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Your husband and kid should definitely have curfews, but you should be able to go out all night and do what you need to do to bring in some much-needed cash to that hobo camp you call your parents' house.

I got 5 on it for a bj of course

On "Cops," the ugly chicks were asking for 10 bucks. I think I'd spring for 20 to get a girl with all her teeth (or none of them, anything in between is too painful to be fun.)

very true one time I got a bj from a chic with a overbite and a missing tooth my **** hasn't been the same since

As you gain wisdom in life you will realize that there are some things that you can save money on and others you can't. You can afford to skimp on window cleaner, condoms and pacemakers, but you have to go high-dollar with peanut butter and ********. (I just saved you thousands of dollars and years of disappointment.)

Why should the husband have curfews?
MrSassypants 34
Well OP if they do lose the house and they want to move in with you it'll be revenge time.

Three generations? Your parents deserve it for taking out a mortgage against a house that was already paid for.

Because houses that old never need repairs, you ******* retard.
PeteElMalo 0
repairs don't require taking out a mortgage so large that you're of losing the house, you ******* retard

It depends on what the repairs are. Here, two examples of expensive repairs. Half the roof blowing off in a hurricane? Expensive. Possibly covered by insurance, but if you have shitty insurance, probably not. Going out of town for a week and letting the pipes freeze and burst? Expensive because you now have to replace every burst pipe, there's potentially a lot of water damage, AND your water bill is going to be killer too. Insurance actually probably WONT cover this, as it's caused by neglect.

I have every type of insurance possible on my house, and when I needed to make repairs to it once, I REFUSED to get a loan using the house as collateral. I used my vehicles for the collateral. I don't blame her parents for doing it, but there is no way I would ever use my house for a loan, because you need a place to stay. Its easy to get a vehicle if you lose them, but its not easy to get a house back if you lose it.

Or... perhaps... OP's parent who inherited the house had siblings and he/she needed to buy out their interest in the house. My husband will inherit his parents' home when they pass on, but he will still need to buy out his siblings. At current market value, that is approximately $250,000.00. We certainly don't have that kind of money in our back pockets right now.

mike3775, One reason people might take out a loan using their house as collateral is that home equity loans, like mortgages still allow the interest to be used as a tax deduction. Other types of loans do not. You might not do it, and I'm not arguing the merits of this, but lots of people do without issues.

hurricanes and frozen pipes in California? really?
DocBastard 40
In Northern California? Yes.
boatkicker 5
I didn't look at the location of the FML. If hurricanes and frozen pipes don't do it for you, what about earthquakes? But even still, the same things can happen in some parts of California. Pretty sure "hurricane" is specific to storms formed in the Atlantic ocean, but I'm sure similar storms with a different name can form in the Pacific as well. And yes, as someone already said, it can definitely get cold enough for pipes to freeze in California.

Offering to help your parents save your family home is one thing. But you should have been clear about how it was going to be when you moved back. Parents are funny things, sometimes they want to be the parents no matter how old you are. YDI for not being clear with them when you moved in and/or not just having a mature discussion about how you come home whatever time you please as you and that you are not a little child anymore. Unless of course you and your husband are still in your teens in which case listen to your parents and go clean your room otherwise you are grounded!

If someone is leaving their home to help their parents in an important family matter, then they should be able to expect to be treated like adults. The parents are dependent on HER right now, not the other way around. I would just move right back out if anyone, even my parents, were being such assholes to me when all I'd done was make sacrifices just to help them out.

3 generations? Pretty soon you'll be there longer than the house.

I don't believe it's an unreasonable request. My family had to move in with my mother briefly, and while it wasn't to help her, I still respected her rules. It's a matter of respect which is apparently lacking in most of the world's population.
mike3775 39
When I lived with my parents once with my first wife, my parents never went that route. They treated us as adults and we paid money for food and expenses so they treated us as adults Saying that grown adults have curfews when they are assisting on paying the mortgage is uncalled for IMO. If my parents tried that with me, believe me, we be gone before the boxes were unpacked, considering its our incomes that are saving the house in the first place and keeping them in the house

Respect has to go both ways. Complying with general household rules is one thing, but enforcing a curfew on their grown-up daughter and her family is disrespectful.
Jewelofagal 2
I hope you laughed when your folks delivered that news. It takes a lot of chutzpah to try to control your grown child while needing their financial support.

So don't play along. Ask them which is more important: keeping the property, or being control freaks?
